NBC's Lester Holt: We don’t need to hear both sides to define truth: ‘Fairness is overrated’

[Revmitchell]

NBC News anchor Lester Holt received praise from liberal media figures after saying reporters don’t need to hear both sides of a story before determining the "truth."

"I think it’s become clear that fairness is overrated ... the idea that we should always give two sides equal weight and merit does not reflect the world we find ourselves in," Holt said on Tuesday night while accepting an award at the 45th Murrow Symposium.

From the article:

Cornell Law School professor and media critic William A. Jacobson didn't think Holt’s remarks apply to the modern world where outspoken liberals are often working as journalists.

"In a better world in which the mainstream major media had a history of fairness and non-partisanship, Holt's point that journalism inherently involves filtering information might make sense. This is not such a better world, this is a world in which the mainstream major media wears its partisanship on its sleeve, manipulating the news cycle to the advantage of Democrats," Jacobson told Fox News. "In the real world, Holt's advice simply justifies media political bias."​

Unbiased reporting is a myth. The Dem Progressive Left MSM caring about the truth is a myth.

If I had a nickel for every time the Dem Progressive Left MSM has lied, I could pay off the national debt of every country in the world and have as much left over.
